Giant Balloons vs. 841hp Corvette

Cleetus McFarland is back with another challenge and, as always, anything this guy does is a good time!

I think at some point we have all wondered what would happen if we wrapped balloons around the exhaust of our car and cranked it up. Well, thanks to Cleetus and crew, now we know. After a couple of misfires, McFarland finally decides to use a little duct tape to make sure the balloons stay securely attached to the exhaust tips on the 841 HP balloon inflator and then it’s just a matter of when, not if, the car makes enough exhaust to cause the balloons to pop.

Unfortunately, the car has a crossover, so the exhaust is able to find the path of least resistance, which is through a single balloon instead of all 4, so it’s not exactly the outcome Cleetus and the guys were expecting. However, it does answer the question, and finding out is the fun part anyway!
